Hi guys,

As many of you know I have been busy working on a benefit for the last few months. I wanted to come on and tell you all a little bit more about it.

On Saturday, October 25th, Sidewalk Angels Foundation will present A Furry Tail Eveningto benefit Pets Alive Animal Sanctuary.

The evening will begin with a cocktail reception and silent auction. The auction will have some fabulous items.

Not only are Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf going to come out and support us, they are auctioning
off the opportunity to play tennis with them the following day.

The evening will also include a formal dinner, to be followed by an intimate concert featuring Rob Thomas and Chris Daughtry. This will definitely be a rare treat for those who attend.

Our goal for this evening is to raise awareness and much needed funds for Pets Alive.

They have so many wonderful goals for the new year. They would like to open a spay/neuter and low cost medical facility at the sanctuary.

They'd like to welcome the public and start a training program. They would also like to start doing outreach and going into schools, as well as inviting children to the sanctuary for field trips to introduce them to animal care and altruistic living.

They would like to finally make some much needed repairs to better the environment at the shelter and perhaps even hire a full time dog trainer to work with their problem dogs.

This does not have to be a dream. This could be a reality, with all of our help.

I know that many of you are huge supporters of Pets Alive and what they stand for, so I wanted to give you the opportunity to be a part of this special evening.

For a limited time, we will be able to offer seats for the event.

Seats for the evening are $750 per person. There is also a VIP package availabe for $2,500
This will include 2 seats for the event, as well as a pre-show meet and greet cocktail reception with Rob and Chris.

All tickets are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.

If any of you are interested please email Margaret at furrytailevening@aol.com

Seats are filling up quickly, so this offer is only for a limited amount of time.

We hope to see you there.

Thanks for the info Mari, it sounds like it's going to be a wonderful night!

What a great idea Mari. Rob and Chris - WOW!!! As well as a game of tennis with two greats of the court - what an opportunity. Sounds like things are really coming together for Pets Alive and the ideas that you have presented here will be great - and much needed - additions to an already wonderful place.
